PERMIT-REQUIRED CONFINED SPACES |

Permit-Required Confined Space Standard - Written Program |

|
If hazardous conditions are detected during entry, employees must immediately
leave the space, and the employer must evaluate the space to determine the cause of the
hazardous atmosphere. When entry to permit spaces is prohibited, the employer must take effective measures to prevent unauthorized entry. Non-permit confined spaces must be reevaluated when there are changes in their use or configuration and, where appropriate, must be reclassified. If testing and inspection data prove that a permit-required confined space no longer poses hazards, that space may be reclassified as a non-permit confined space. If entry is required to eliminate hazards and to obtain the data, the employer must follow procedures as set forth under sections (d) through (k) of the Permit-Required Confined Space Standard. A certificate documenting the data, must be made available to employees entering the space. The certificate must include the date, location of the space, and the signature of the person making the certification. |
